Who were the nimrods who thought personal loot was bad? Im guessing the types that rolled Need on every possible item and who thus felt that they were not getting as much loot. Overnight we go from a very simple loot system to one where people are again angry after losing a sought-after...

So they added 50 Garrison Resources to the first Heroic of the day, but also changed LFG loot mode back to Need/Greed instead of personal loot. I was actually kinda liking the personal loot. In fact I just lost an offhand Int item to a Paladin. I didnt even know Paladins could use...

It is a bit puzzling that some of the buildings have passives that are most appropriate when levelling and yet it is likely you won't be able to build them until you are either done or nearly done with exp. Personally I find the tradepost and salvage to be invaluable. Especially as I'm trying...

The Garrison Campaign was a pleasant surprise. Like having Patch.X content only at launch. The illusion of things happening is very good at getting me to login and stay logged in. I only this AM realized that First Aid now makes healing pots instead of bandages. There is no excuse for...

Nearly everything about this show is making me happy. There was a definite risk in doing an Arrow spinoff as to whether lightning could strike twice. The showrunners seem to have a good handle on things and you just know that Warner Brothers / the CW is looking to see if they can pull a third...

Yeah when grouping in heroics yesterday I noticed that the other dps were taking a lot of avoidable damage and not making use of any damage mitigation or self healing. I was using Ice Barrier on cooldown and chugging healing pots when needed. Since I have a Mistweaver monk alt I was also...

The sad part is that the dungeons seem to be well crafted. At any rate the encounters are interesting and even the layout manages to obfuscate the long-tunnel nature of traditional WoW dungeons. Be cool if they implemented Epic dungeons in a patch or two with cool loot tuned to baseline...

Yeah it's not the blue so much as the generic and the notion of not only rerunning over and over to get the spec matching one, but ideally the spec matching one with a gem socket. It seems weapons are somewhat dungeon specific in that only a couple drop mage offhand items for instance, but if...

Having the Heroic dungeons drop generic blue crap is a downer. I understand the reason, they want to have plenty of options for everyone to tune their build now that they removed the means to tune your build with Reforging and they don't want any one particular dungeon to suffer greatly from...

I fully intended to jump right in and not bother with customizing my character. Then I decided I wanted to change just his hair... an hour later I was able to actually start the game. *sigh* Damn you Bioware!!!

That is a ridiculous collectors edition. Pretty well done, but very over the top. I decided on digital download and PS4 for this puppy even though it will look better on the PC I figure any PC gaming I do over the next little while will be WoW and this looks cinematic enough to play in the...

Anyone else playing the 'card game' for this? Has a freemium vibe in that they want you to buy extra turns / advance the daily quest but it has been a somewhat amusing distraction to get me back in the lore and vibe of Thedas.

See I don't see the levelling experience to be a good story at all. You go through the portal and in the course of the introduction you not only stop the invasion but blow up the damn portal. Sure you end up running at the end, but considering you came through with Khadgar and his Scoobies...

This is a very valid point which I had forgotten. In BC we had Shaman/Paladins with Dranei and Bloodelves, Icecrown we had Death Knights. Cataclysm we had Goblins and Worgen plus new valid race/class combos, MoP had Monks and Pandaren so both a totally new class and a new race. There were a...

Are people watching this off iTunes? Nick.com appears to have the episode posted, but when I go to it the content is currently unavailable...

No that is one of the major changes with this expansion. After 10 years of sentient beings on every world and adjacent dimension carrying pocket-squares that can be stitched together to make bolts of cloth we now have to go kill fuzzy-wuzzies and 'spin' fur into cloth, mostly done by the...

Played Shadowrun:Crossfire last night. Cooperative deck building game rather like Pathfinder (board game that is). We got our assets kicked the first time, but the second try we managed to carefully strategize our way to victory. Only downside with these Campaign style builder games is not...

Yeah that is probably my biggest beef with the WoD storyline: The Iron Horde are transcendently terrible at what they do. They build up a huge military on Draenor (including a train and lots of steel warships neither of which you can take through your portal) and then invade Azeroth for...

Note that isn't young Khadgar. That is normal old Khadgar from Shattrath City chit chatting with Adal. He's gotten a shave and a haircut and is therefore looking more badass, but it's still the Khadgar from our universe. It occurs to me that part of the reason Blizz is soooo adamant that...

Things were going great and then BAM mega lag and Garrisons etc unaccessible

Things are proceeding nicely now. The rare spawn mobs and mini events keeps things at least a bit interesting plus porting back to Garrison/local base every so often to turn in follower stuff.

Yeah there is a small lot in the 3rd garrison that is empty. I figured it was for some sort of 'you complete the raid tier, get a new building' reward

Finished Bloodmaul Slag Mines and got kicked out of the server... nice.

Ahhh. Interesting developments and that chick from the next episode was all over the place during this one. The camera kept staying on her a beat too long for a simple pan. Katana does not want Ollie around, I'm guessing that will be a big deal in the present when her husband (and kid?) are...

Its 1:47 AM CET. The servers just went live at midnight CET so he got 9 levels in 1.5 hours

I did a Normal Garry on my Mage for the first time tonight hah. Got into a group that was on Garry and bam got my staff. Is there some significance to the names of the Alliance and Horde heroes right in front of the Dark Portal? They look like Player Character names (EtuBrute, Monishot...

Yeah that was Attilan. I think Marvel is pretty smart with seeding the Inhumans this early. Afterall while everyone knows the Xmen from pop culture no one knows who the Inhumans are except comic folk. However if you give the broader public backstory ahead of time they get to participate in...

Feast was quite good. I had forgotten that it was going to be attached as a short and was pleasantly surprised when it popped up. The only downside was that it instantly made me hungry for all kinds of really terrible (awesome!!) food.

Bah. Sucks that the Euros get the expansion 9 hours early. I suppose it balances out with the usual patch and maintenance schedule but sheesh. Also interesting that they roll out at midnight CET since the argument for keeping the release west coast based in North America is that it encourages...

It's weird that with the changes to normal flasks the Alchemy garrison plot produces BoP workorder items that are only used if you have the profession.

I was a little surprised that the blew up Plastique as the new backstory they created for her was quite good. The final scene with a certain simian was a nice reward though

Luthor! Evil!!! Okay so it's General Eiling, but Clancy Brown will always be Luthor to me.

Hmm so Ezra was born the day that the Emperor came into power. Probably not a coincidence. Those pesky midichlorians up to something... Having this show anchored on Lothal has given it much less dynamic scope than Clone Wars had. By the end Clone Wars was following lots of different...

Why even bother having a licensed IP if your intent is to essentially erase most of it? Well at least this will either be a massive success of total reimagining of the concept or such an epic failure that FOX may just abandon it entirely

Polygon noted lots of bugs, including some crash and game save trashing bugs related to the 2.0 PSN update, and are thus witholding their score for the PS4 version. They did give it 9.5 on both Xbone and PC though. EA apparently told them the patch to address the 2.0 stuff was coming from...

I'm not sure if I will level my Mage or my Monk first. Probably Mage since the Monk can just do dungeons as healer after the first week and have minimal queues. Still haven't used my 90 boost though.

You may be the only person who does this. In the world.

Dragon Age 2 mystified me since I really thought they had a cool thing going with Origins as it seemed to be a nice origin story for your hero. At the end you feel pretty badass, but then realiE you only stopped a minor incursion in one province and the bigger questions of what is going on with...

This is why I like the PVE shooters like Destiny. Because shooting things and using abilities is fun and getting your head blown off every few second isn't. I'm thinking this forms the logic behind their statement about time-to-kill being fairly long in Overwatch, so that people feel if they...

Given that this is Activision and Superhero-ish they should go full on Skylander on this shit and get Toys for Bob to make action figures for the different characters to use as an unlock mechanism. Perhaps not the only unlock mechanism, but it would be the next logical progrrssion for kids who...
